Cosmetic dentistry is a wonderful and beautiful thing, affording all of the beautiful people of Leeds to smile with adorable confidence. There is not really a thing a dentist cannot do to your teeth these days and that is all down to the fantastic technology they have in their hands. But they can also do things to your gums as well especially when it comes to contouring with a laser. This technique is can be used to remove dead tissue caused by gum disease, but it has become favourite among people who suffer from a ‘gummy’ smile. It is an extremely quick and inexpensive treatment; once you are in the chair, the excess gum tissue that affects your smile are removed with a laser in around half an hour and costs around £200-300. Because they laser is so precise, the healing process is quick and after a few days of minor discomfort, that can be dampened down by the use of mouth-washes and mild painkiller. Some further cosmetic treatment may be required to protect the newly exposed teeth which may lack enamel- this comes in the form of veneers. There is also a reverse answer to smile contouring whereby the lips retreat too far over the teeth and expose too much smile. In this case, an operation can be performed to lower the lip and prevent from over retracting. So, get your chin up, get out there and smile your face off.
